I'm planning to use this paper for printing business cards, is it useful for that? Do you think I can use it with an hp printer, regardless of epson brand of the paper?? Thanks

I use this with an hp printer and it works great. I haven't used it for business cards, but I don't see why you couldn't. Seems like it would be easier to use pre-scored paper for that, but if you have a paper cutter this would probably work fine.

No, not with Pro Platinum. I don't know what you want to use the paper for nor hqw thick a paper your printer takes but here's a suggestion. You could try this one, even though it's from Epson it says it works in all brands. Product Description Amazon.com This double-sided matte paper from Epson is designed for use with inkjet printers and is ideal for printing sales brochures, greeting cards, newsletter, and photographic portfolios that require both photographic image quality as well as the versatility of two-sided printing with no show-through. The 8.5-by-11-inch sheets have a 93% opacity and an ISO brightness of 103, resulting in bright whites that help make your prints stand out. The 47 lb. basis weight and 9.7 mil thickness means that your prints have a sturdy, professional feel to them. Each package contains 50 sheets of paper. Product Description Perfect for non-glare photographs, craft projects and signage. Resists fading up to 72 years. Guaranteed to work with all inkjet printers. Form Type: N/A; Global Product Type: Office Paper; Paper Type: Presentation; Sheet Size (W x H): 8 1/2 in x 11 in. I hope this helps. If you could use copy paper if you don't need thicker paper.

OK, I have read the manual and read LOTS of online reviews and my answer would be it is NOT recommended for cardstock. People who HAVE run cardstock through it have eventually had trouble with the rollers not grabbing. There is a 'mode' for "Epson Presentation Paper - Heavyweight Matte" which is #44. The cardstock I have is #65. IF you need to run primarily cardstock, I would advise against it. OR be sure to change the setting to the Presentation Paper mode. If you can get by with a 44 pound weight paper, then it seems that this printer can handle it. I would guess an occasional piece of cardstock won't kill it but if you primarily print cardstock you might want a more robust printer. Hope this helps! PS. I usually use a high quality paper to print normal copies and it's #22 - just for comparison.

I have two HP printers and it works perfectly. best photo paper That I have ever used

Frankly, I don't know. But I did notice that it distorts the colors more than you'd expect from an "advanced" printer. The printed image is sharp and detailed, but it's of different huge (e.g. yellowish camel instead of beige, or bluish gray instead of greenish gray). That said, I print on Hammermill 28 lb paper, not on specific Epson photo paper.

I seldom print on greeting card stock - when I do I use the other printer in my office, an Epson Artisan 837 dye ink printer. I will feed a few sheets at a time.

Yes, it seems to work best on Epson photo paper, but does a good job on other brands, either matte or glossy. It can print all of those sizes.

No, you can't use this paper for inkjet printers. This paper is for laser printers that use toner, not ink.

I'm using the Kirkland Premium paper from Costco with no problems. Others from the printer forum on dpreview.com have also had no problems using the paper on Epson printers. My printer is the Artisan 810. In order to use the paper properly, I had to change the settings to "premium photo paper glossy", not "photo paper glossy". The Kirkland paper is a much better value than the Epson paper.

I never used it for photos, but it prints nice cards. It isn't shiny like photo paper, so I wouldn't think it could be used for that.

I am not sure what the results would be. Usually papers of this quality are designed for the Epson's printers, as paper of similar quality are designed for the Canon printers. I would suggest that you consider using Canon paper with the Canon printer, just look for a matte paper that is considered fine art paper. Also be sure that you get the correct profile for that paper, results are very dependent on the profiles that are designed by the printer/paper manufactures.

Tip on printing greeting cards. Use Matte finish presentation paper. Make them 1/4 fold design. You'll get awsome quality and they're easier to fold than card stock anyway. It's normally 32 to 35# HP brand seems to be the best value at this time. That said....I don't think I want this printer as I often need to print on heavy paper for other print jobs.

I only use it for 4X6 prints. I do not see any other options to pick from. I believe it may be able to print other sizes. But you may have to contact Epson. I have asked for help on line and they are very helpful!!!

I use this paper on an Epson 2880 with incredible consistent results. That being said, I'm using high-resolution images that take advantage of Photoshop, the printer and the paper. I greatly prefer this 'luster' paper over 'glossy'. But that's a taste preference. I found the quality of this paper to be worth every penny. Make sure that your printer heads are clean before starting a print. Finding a nozzle is clogged half-way through a print is no fun. Does the media you're printing need a presentation like this? If not, definitely find something cheaper. It will not make a bad image better.

Jalal, I have an old HP Photosmart All-In-One printer and the paper works just fine. It is not just for Laser printers. It's nice paper and I noticed today (after I posted review) that the price has dropped, so I think I will get some more myself.

Yes. I use card stock to create greeting cards and business cards all of the time with no problems. The colors are crisp and the feed is pretty fast considering it's an ink jet printer. IO do find that the machine is sensative when it gets down to the last 2 or three pages. Sometimes it reacts as if the paper ran out. so, just make sure you have a nice fill of paper in the feed tray. I also have a Pixma MP560. The 560 has two feeds and both work perfectly. I bought the MG5420 because it works with wirelessly my Ipad and iphone and, a rare feature; it prints on CD's and DVD's.

I have to agree with A. Geib I bumped up the phyical memory, used quality paper printed at the highest resolution and got very good resultsIt is abit slow on the first thing printing and sounds like a jet when I turn it on, but it was worth the money so far, I also have a Brotherat work and its a workhorse.I've used HP's Lexmark, Cannon, Epson it compares to them all, the interesting thing for me is watching the sell price move up and downI may start tracking it for fun.
